Method
 

How to Make King Oyster Tenders
  1. Use a fork to shred the king oyster mushroom. Start at one end of the mushroom, place the fork in the mushroom, firmly press down, and pull the fork down the length. Repeat until the mushroom starts to pull apart.
  2. Place the shredded mushrooms in a large bowl, and add the garbanzo bean flour, seasonings, and salt.
  3. Add the plant milk, and start to mix, the garbanzo flour will start to thicken, and the mixture should hold the shape. If the mixture feels wet and sticky add a tablespoon of garbanzo bean flour.
  4. Form in the shape of a chicken tender.
  5. Use your hands to crumble the cornflakes.
  6. Roll the tender in the flour, and quickly dunk in the plant milk.
  7. Coat the tenders with the cornflakes, and continue to crumble the cornflakes as you press and coat the tenders.
  8. Heat a heavy cast iron pan over medium to medium-low heat. The heat should not be too high we need to balance cooking the inside and creating a crispy golden-brown exterior.
  9. Place the cooked mushroom tenders on a cooling rack and season with salt.
How to Make Vegan Ranch Dressing
  1. Cook the cashew in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse the cashews.
  2. Place the cashews, red miso, plant milk, and apple cider vinegar in a high-speed blender and puree until very smooth.
  3. Once smooth add the extra virgin olive oil.
  4. Place the puree in a bowl, and add the minced garlic, nutritional yeast, and chopped herbs. Stir to combine, add the salt.
